Uninformative error message is thrown when Property's Reference name is the same as the Property's Type name
How to reproduce:
1. Create a new HDRP template project
2. Create a PBR Graph (Right-Click in the Project Window, then Create->Shader->PBR Graph)
3. Open the Graph by Double-Clicking it
4. Create a Color Property by clicking the plus sign and selecting it from the context menu
5. Change Color Property's Reference name to "Color"
6. Drag the Property into the blackboard
7. Connect the Color Property to the Master Node
Expected result: An error informing the user about an incorrect Reference name is thrown
Actual result: An uninformative error is thrown
Reproducible with: 2019.3.6f1 (7.1.8, 7.2.1), 2020.1.0b2 (8.0.1), 2020.2.0a4 (7.1.7, 8.0.1)
Couldn't test with: 2017.4.38f1 (Package Manager does not exist), 2018.4.19f1 (4.10.0-preview, 0.1.8 - no options for Properties)

Resolution Note:
Workaround: please don't use names reserved for ShaderLab.
We use a bison-generated parser which is quite difficult to modify. We will replace it eventually (we have an item in the backlog), but right now it's impractical to fix.
